These Conditions and any Promoter, Agent and/or Venue terms, conditions and regulations are collectively referred to as, “the Terms and Conditions”.
2. All Tickets are sold subject to the Terms and Conditions. Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully before purchase, and raise any queries with Cuffe & Taylor, the Promoter, Agent or Venue (as relevant) before purchase. Your purchase of a Ticket constitutes Your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions.
3. It is Your responsibility to check Your Tickets as if You have made a mistake, it can not always be rectified after purchase. Please check Your Tickets on receipt carefully and contact Cuffe & Taylor immediately if there is a mistake.
4. If You have any access requirements or concerns about any special effects (for example lighting, sound, audiovisual or pyrotechnic effects) which may be featured at the Event, please discuss any such issues with Cuffe & Taylor before purchasing the Tickets by contacting us here.
5. You must produce a valid Ticket to gain access to an Event and You must keep possession of such Ticket at all times during the Event. Your Ticket may be invalidated if any part of it is removed, altered or defaced. Cuffe & Taylor will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed.
6. Cuffe & Taylor may issue duplicate Tickets in its sole discretion. If Cuffe & Taylor issues a duplicate Ticket, it may charge a reasonable administration fee.
7. Please see the Event website for terms relating to Tickets for children. Children aged 16 or under will not be allowed entry to an Event unless they are supervised (for the duration of the Event) by an adult. One adult is entitled to supervise up to ten children. Cuffe & Taylor will require supervisors to remove children if, in Cuffe & Taylor’s sole opinion, the children are causing a disturbance to other Ticket holders. Subject to it being stated otherwise in the Terms and Conditions or on the Event website, it is the responsibility of the supervisors of a child to determine whether an Event is suitable for that child to attend, and none of Cuffe & Taylor, the Promoter, Agent or Venue accepts any liability or responsibility in relation to the same. The Event may also be subject to age restrictions which will be displayed or otherwise made available to You as part of the Ticket purchase. None of Cuffe & Taylor, the Promoter, Agent or Venue will be responsible if You or any of Your guests are refused admission because of a failure to meet or prove that You/they meet such age restrictions.
8. For seated Events, You only have the right to a seat at the Event of a value corresponding to the price paid to the Agent for the Ticket, and the Promoter and Cuffe & Taylor acting reasonably, reserve the right to provide alternative seats at the Event to those originally purchased. Where only seats of a lesser value are available, You will be offered the choice of accepting either (a) the lesser value seats available, or (b) a refund of the price paid to the Agent for Your Ticket.
9. Tickets are sold subject to the Promoter’s and Cuffe & Taylor’s right to alter the advertised Event as reasonably necessary. Cuffe & Taylor’s total liability in relation to a cancelled Event is set out below in Conditions 14 and 15.
10. Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the performance is cancelled, rescheduled or where there is a material change to the Event. A ‘material’ change is a change which, in Cuffe & Taylor’s reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Ticket, taken generally, could reasonably expect. Please note that the following are not deemed to be “material” changes: the use of understudies in theatre performances; adverse weather conditions; changes of any supporting act; changes to individual members of a band; changes to the line-up of any multi-performer event (such as a festival); curtailment of the event where the majority of an event is performed in full; and delays to the starting of the performance of an event.
11. It is Your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event. Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, Cuffe & Taylor will use its reasonable endeavours to notify You using the details You provided at the time of ordering. Cuffe & Taylor does not guarantee that You will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event. It is also Your responsibility to inform the point of sale from where You bought the Ticket of any change to the contact address, telephone number or email address You provided at the time of purchase.
12. Where an Event is cancelled, rescheduled (and You notify the Agent within the timeframe specified by the Agent that You cannot or do not wish to attend the rescheduled event), or where there is a material change to the programme of the Event, You will be entitled to a refund in accordance with Condition 14. If the Agent does not specify a timeframe for requesting a refund, the deadline by default will be 48 hours before the date of the rescheduled event. Failure to notify the Agent by the applicable deadline that you are unable to attend the rescheduled event will be deemed to be a reconfirmation of your order for Tickets or Ticket Packages for the rescheduled event, and you will not be able to claim a refund. If You have already received Your Tickets then You may be asked to return them before a refund can be issued. Refunds will only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets. Liability for the cancellation or rescheduling of an Event, or for material changes to an Event, will be limited to a refund as set forth in Condition 14.
13. “Force Majeure” means any cause beyond Cuffe & Taylor’s control including, without limitation, act of God, war, insurrection, riot, civil disturbances, acts of terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, national mourning, theft of essential equipment, malicious damage, strike, lock out, weather, third party injunction, national defence requirements, acts or regulations of national or local governments. Subject to the provisions of Condition 12, Cuffe & Taylor will not be liable to You for failure to perform any obligation under the Conditions to the extent that the failure is caused by Force Majeure.
14. The total refund for a Ticket shall be the price paid to the Agent for the Ticket purchased. Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence, hospitality or accommodation relating to the Event which have been arranged by You are at Your own risk. Neither Cuffe & Taylor nor the Promoter shall be liable for any loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure in addition to refunding the price of the Ticket.
15. Cuffe & Taylor will not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to any person (including Yourself) or property however caused: (a) in any circumstances where there is no breach of a legal duty of care owed by Cuffe & Taylor, (b) in circumstances where such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach (save for death or personal injury as a result of a breach of a legal duty of care owed by Cuffe & Taylor); or (c) to the extent that any loss or damage results from breach by You of any of the Terms and Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in this Condition 15, Cuffe & Taylor’s total liability to You in connection with an Event (including, but not limited to, for any cancellation, rescheduling or alteration of an Event) shall be limited to the price paid to the Agent for the Ticket purchased.
16. Nothing in the Conditions seeks to exclude or limit any liability of Cuffe & Taylor for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, fraud or any other type of liability which cannot by law be excluded or limited.
17. You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket if prohibited by law. In addition, re-sales or transfers of Tickets may be prohibited for certain Events, pursuant to the specific terms and conditions of those Events (for example, but not limited to (a) charity Events, (b) Events where age restrictions apply because of the content of the Event or licensing requirements, or (c) balloted Events). Where a Ticket is offered for re-sale in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, You must provide the buyer with full details of the Ticket. Full details include (if printed on the Ticket) the relevant block or tier, and row and seat number. The buyer of a Ticket must be made aware of the Terms and Conditions and any other terms and conditions that are specific to the Event. You should check whether any special terms or conditions apply before offering a Ticket for resale. Free tickets are often provided for specific reasons limiting their transferability.
18. You may not combine a ticket with any hospitality, travel or accommodation service and/or any other merchandise, product or service to create a ticket package (“Ticket Package”) and sell or otherwise transfer (or facilitate the sale or transfer of) such Ticket Package for profit or commercial gain, offer such Ticket Package as an incentive or prize in a promotion or competition, or otherwise dispose of such Ticket Package in the course of a business.
